I like all kind of flavoured rice, such as pumpkin rice, yam rice, pineapple rice and tomato rice. Rice is not only my staple, but also one of my comfort food. When I saw this recipe on NHK program, I told myself I must try it. Simple Japanese home cook dish cooked in rice cooker, simple, healthy and yummy.

Lotus root (蓮根 - renkon in Japanese) is one of the common ingredients in Japanese cooking. It can be cooked in soup, stew, rice and desserts. Renkon tempura is also polular, sliced renkon is stuffed with things like mince and mustard then made into tempura. For Chinese cooking, lotus root soup is my all-time favourite followed by stir-fried mixed vegetables with sliced lotus root. That explained why I like to buy lotus root always.
